Compulsive Face Picking And Acne

Compulsive Face Picking is not a sign of poor personal hygiene, nor is it necessarily a sign of a hard to control acne problem. Quite often a person with this compulsion will start picking at a spot that can't even be seen. There is an urge to focus on this spot and keep picking at it, till it can become an open wound and starts to bleed. If there is a pimple present, there seems to be a need to clean out this area and the person will keep at the pimple till they feel is as clean as they can get it. This can lead to a large hole or wound in the skin and they will try to cover it with cosmetics.

The Chin Seems To Be An Area Of Compusive Face Picking As Well
